Made in England, Susan grew up particularly enjoying collecting second hand books and visiting jumble sales for bargains. She moved to Australia where she developed a passion for 'Treasure' hunting in opportunity shops. This led to her home becoming a refuge for orphaned bears and an assortment of hand made objects. Susan loves to spend her time creating beautiful country crafts and writing poems about her creations and life experiences. When not busily sewing or writing Susan enjoys hosting themed afternoon teas for her friends and relaxing in her home on the beautiful Gold Coast. May you enjoy Simply Susan's musings.

Presentation is Everything

On Sunday afternoon we had the joy and priviledge of sharing afternoon tea with our daughter at her "home in the sky".

(For those of you who have been following the crow story, it is still very active in her street and the tarmac is festooned with all kinds of wiper blade rubbers, what persistence!)

We were served a delicious concoction of meringue, strawberries, whipped cream and liqueur with chocolate sticks. It could have resembled a broken pavlova, which is what the ingredients suggest, BUT NO! it was presented in a black and white, polka dot tea cup and saucer and it looked amazing. It was delicious.
She has such taste and flare, and she is able to turn a simple afternoon cuppa into a special, delightful, memorable occasion.

Here's a snap,



I bet you wish you'd been there!

Have a great day
Simply Susan
